[edit] Background

[edit] Shane Barnard

Christianity began to play an active role in the life of Barnard when he was in ninth grade, when he began to attend a Bible church youth group. He began leading worship soon thereafter. During his junior year as a student at Texas A&M University, Barnard began a recording career.

Prior to joining Everett, Barnard teamed up with friend Caleb Carruth to release an album. Entitled "Salvation Still Remains", it was released in limited numbers. Barnard and Carruth were rumored to have recorded the album in only two days due to the fact they had to pay for studio time themselves and wanting to make the most of it. Family and friends brought them sandwiches and drinks through out the process. Barnard and Carruth later agreed to end their partnership amicably, stating "they were just moving in different directions".

Shane is married to CCM singer Bethany Dillon.

[edit] Shane Everett

Everett was born in Dallas, Texas and later moved to Garland, a nearby suburb. Everett also attended Texas A&M University. After playing in a bar band, 4D2, one night Everett experienced an encounter with God which led him to Central Baptist Church, where he became a Christian. Shortly thereafter, he met Barnard, and became part of a weekly student-led praise and worship service at Texas A&M.

The band originally began with Barnard performing solo acts, but Everett increasingly played a major role in his performances. With the release of their 2003 album, entitled Carry Away, the band became officially known as Shane & Shane.

[edit] Controversy

In 2007 the two Shane's got into a heated argument in the middle of a west coast tour. Barnard was upset that Everett had forgotten to get him a packet of peppers at a local In-N-Out in El Monte, CA. Everett, thinking nothing of Barnard's outburst, allegedly ignored Barnard's words of frustration. Apparently, Everett's forgetting of Barnard's request triggered something in Barnard, as he began to throw punches at Everett. The two wrestled for about 15 minutes and did not talk to each other for the next 15 days. Eventually, Barnard apologized and the two decided to lay down their bitterness toward one another for the sake of their fans.
